The Wizards won again Monday night in Toronto and they'll take a three-game winning streak into Wednesday night's home game against Detroit.
You look at the NBA standings, where the Wizards used to be easy to find anchored to the bottom, and you have to pass several teams on the way up before you come to Washington.
The record is still an eyesore at 18-37, but it is a significant improvement over the 4-28 mark the team "boasted" not that long ago.
Now start at the top of the Eastern Conference standings and count down. The eighth-place team as of Tuesday was Milwaukee, with 26 victories.
That means Washingt *** STOP. DO NOT GO THERE.
But the Wizards are only eight games out of a playoff position. A long shot, sure, with only 27 games left. Quite unlikely. Out of the question?
Or is it?
Of course it isn't. What a story it would be if the Wizards did somehow manage to claw their way into the playoffs after that abysmal start. It would be a tremendous story and we'll check back in a month and see if there's still a playoff heartbeat with this team.
As it is, the Wizards continue to be one of the early feel-goods of 2013 even if they do fall short of the postseason.
The Wizards were, to be blunt, a blight on the area's pro sports scene for a while.
The Redskins won their division last season. So did the Nationals, with the best record in baseball. They go into this year a legitimate World Series contender.
D.C. United are a force again in Major League Soccer. The Kastles (World Team Tennis for those scratching their heads) never lose. Seriously. They never lose. At least not since Washington Times Sports has been back in business. Look it up.
The Capitals are still spinning their wheels a bit. They've played better of late and are a much more realistic shot to make the postseason than the Wizards. Right now, anyway.
The Wizards, though, are winning more games, attracting some new fans and luring some former fans back. Saturday's victory over the Rockets drew more than 20,000 to Verizon Center. That's 7,000 more than they got for a Saturday home game in December against Detroit.
And — gasp — the Wizards actually appear to be set up for a brighter future.
Surge No. 1 this season coincided with John Wall's return to the lineup after that stress injury in his knee.
Surge No. 2 can be attributed to Wall's backcourt mate, 19-year-old Bradley Beal. He's starting to show why the Wizards used the No. 3 pick in this year's draft on him. He's had 17 or more points in five of the past six games.
The most impressive number with Beal may be the 19 next to his age. He won't be 20 until June.
The Bryce Harper of the Wizards? Not quite. Beal isn't going to be Rookie of the Year. But Wizards fans no longer should be looking at the draft list to see which players the team passed up to get him. He's looking more and more legit.
That's a real, NBA-level backcourt. Wall, the elder statesman, is only 22.
Nene and Emeka Okafor are older, though not pushing retirement age older. They're providing the type of inside play the Wizards need. Okafor has been exceptional lately. He has three straight games with at least 10 rebounds. He's had at least 10 rebounds 23 times this season.
Nene and Okafor are 30. They were born 15 days apart in September of 1982. Hardly ready to be put out to pasture. The two "old" men and the two "kids" in the backcourt make for a very solid core that could play together a while. Nene is under contract through 2016. Okafor does become a free agent after next season.
The backcourt needs to continue its development. Okafor and Nene need continued good health.
A laughable thought at 0-13 and 4-28 -— the Wizards in the playoffs! — may not be realistic for this season. It is, at least, no longer a laughable thought for next season and beyond.

It's been a while that I had a brush in my hand. Or blogged here. I have overused my arms at both home, painting, and at work, typing and handling stacks and stacks of paper. So, I have been taking it easy during the past few weeks, and will need to continue to do so.
Yesterday was the first time I did a watercolor sketch again in a long time (it felt rather wobbly).
Here it is, with the corresponding recipe!

It was part of Spiro Latsis group of companies. Eurobank Ergasias is based in Athens, Greece.
In 1990 the "Euromerchant Bank SA"[2] (Ευρωεπενδυτική Τράπεζα ΑΕ,[3] literally euroinvestment bank) was founded. With taking over 75% of EFG Private Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. this part was integrated in 1994.

In July that year Eurobank was deconsolidated from the group and the shares sold to the Greek Latsis family and was renamed Eurobank Ergasias[4]
In January 2013 the National Bank of Greece made an offer, which ultimately did not go through, to take over Eurobank Ergasias. 64,000 Eurobank shareholders and the Greek capital market commission agreed.[5] A few weeks after the buyout proposal, NBG presented plans to reduce the staff of the new banking group, many of them by taking early retirement.[citation needed]
In 2014 the bank was the third largest in Greece by total assets, by total loans and total deposits and the fourth by market capitalisation, as at December 2014.

Every spring, I find myself in a backstage room surrounded by a flurry of models, needles and thread, the air clogged with the film of hair spray, perfume, and nervous giggles. I can usually be found trying to sit still in a makeup chair while scribbling frantically on note cards, or fielding phone calls for last-minute items while simultaneously answering questions from DJ's and interns.
For the fourth year in a row, I was asked to emcee the annual Fashion's Fight Against Cancer Fashion Show. The show is organized and hosted by lead designer L. Allen, whose collections epitomize a breezy southern elegance. I've become a sucker for their undercurrent of simple sophistication. In 2013, L. Allen expanded his event to L. Allen Fashion Week, encompassing three events: a couture show the first night, a Midtown shop-hop the second night with special deals on drinks and designer duds, and the traditional show gracing the final night.
The entire week benefited the Joanna Francis Living Well Foundation; I had a chance to interview Joanna in the video below. It's always amazing to see how passion and talent can blend together to support a truly worthy cause. I couldn't have been prouder or more humbled to have been part of this event again!

What Did You Learn Today?
02-01-2014, 09:48 AM (This post was last modified: 02-01-2014 10:42 AM by Vera.)
RE: What Did You Learn Today?
About kleptoplasts and E. chlorotica.
"A kleptoplast is an organism that steals genes from other organisms, usually by eating them. Usually those stolen genes don't actually function, but not so in the case of the leafy green E. chlorotica sea slug. This little guy uses plant genes to generate its own photosynthesis factory - after eating its favorite kind of algae, the E. chlorotica can live entirely on solar power for up to a year."
This is cool (albeit creepy) on so many levels. And oh-so-green.
Also, supertasks (a countably infinite sequence of operations that occur sequentially within a finite interval of time). Frankly, there are (way too many) days where I would be infinitely grateful if I could manage/bring myself to do even a single thing in any interval of time, finite or infinite

Brown Qualifies for NCAA Zones, Breaks Pool Record In Senior Meet
Jan. 31, 2014
BALTIMORE - In the final home meet of his career, Loyola University Maryland senior Michael Brown broke the Mangione Pool record and qualified for the NCAA Zone Championships in the 1-meter diving event Friday night.
Brown and classmate Elle Mixa continued their dominance on the boards, as the duo both swept the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions against NJIT and Mount St. Mary's, respectively. Ten other Greyhounds and two of Loyola's relay teams were also victorious throughout the two dual meets.
Brown narrowly missed breaking Terry DelPrete's 28-year-old school record of 338.90 from 1985, recording a score of 335.85 on the 1-meter boards. That mark bettered Rider's Paul Apostolakis' pool record of 334.45 from 2010 and made him the first male diver in Loyola's Division I history to advance to an NCAA event. He's also Loyola's first male diver to qualify for a national championship event since James Tynan competed in fourth-straight at the Division II level from 1972-75.
The 1-meter title marked the seventh time this season Brown has won the event, while he also claimed his fourth 3-meter diving title (246.83) to sweep the events for a fourth time this year.
Mixa also swept the boards for the sixth time this season, winning her seventh 1-meter title (241.49) and her eighth 3-meter title (229.95) in nine tries.
In the pool, freshman Aidan O'Hara led the way with three victories, touching first in the 100 back (54.64), 200 back (1:59.00) and 400 IM (4:20.08). Senior Bryan Bedacht also won multiple titles, claiming the 100 and 200 fly events. He completed the 100 fly in 53.50 and touched first in the 200 fly with a time of 1:59.26.
The Greyhounds swept the 50 free, with junior Ruslan Kopunek recording a winning time of 21.48 on the men's side and freshman Tara Mulligan winning the women's race in 25.06.
In the freestyle races, senior Caitlin Cronin won the 100 free in 52.90 and junior Erin Calderoni claimed the 200 free title in 1:57.94. Loyola also won the 100 and 200 backstrokes, with sophomore Kelsey Dramis touching first in the 100 back (1:01.38) and sophomore Elizabeth McKenna winning the 200 back in 2:12.40.
Senior Erin Shea and freshman Courtney Kenyon rounded out the individual winners with Shea winning the 100 fly in 59.45 and Kenyon winning the 100 breast in 1:08.67.
In relay events, the Greyhounds swept the 200 medley with the quartet of McKenna, sophomore Cara Egan, Shea and Cronin combining for a winning time of 1:51.00. On the men's side, O'Hara, freshman Dale Maholage, Kopunek and sophomore Nigel Hunter teamed for a first-place finish in 1:38.99.
The Greyhounds will conclude their regular season competition tomorrow at the Navy Invitational. Events are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

Population-based study of breast cancer in older women: prognostic factors of relative survival and predictors of treatment

BMC Cancer 2012, 12:472 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-12-472Published: 15 October 2012
A large proportion of women with breast cancer (BC) are elderly. However, there is a lack of information regarding BC prognostic factors and care in this population. The aims of this study were to assess the prognostic factors of relative survival (RS) among women with BC aged ≥ 75 years old and to identify the predictive factors of treatments administered to this population.
A population-based study was performed using data from the Cote d'Or breast and gynaecological cancer registry. Women aged 75 years and older with primary invasive BC and resident in Cote d'Or at the time of diagnosis made between January 1998 and December 2008 were retrospectively selected. Prognostic factors of RS were estimated in a generalized linear model with a Poisson error structure. RS rate for the whole population was given at 5 years. Logistic regression models were used to identify the predictors of the treatments administered.
Six hundred and eighty-one women were included. Median age at diagnosis was 80. Comorbidities (p=0.02), pT stage (p=0.04), metastases (p=<0.001), having a family doctor (p=0.03) and hormone-receptor status (p=0.006) were independent prognostic factors of RS. The RS rate at 5 years for the whole population was 78.2%, 95%CI = [72.2-83.0]. Age, pT stage, metastases, histoprognostic SBR grade, hormone receptor status and comorbidities were frequently found to be predictors of treatment with surgery alone, hormone therapy alone, breast conserving surgery plus adjuvant therapy and mastectomy plus adjuvant therapy.
Comorbid conditions adversely affect survival in older women with breast cancer. Moreover the results of this study showed that there are numerous predictors of the type of treatment administered, and that the most important were age and comorbidities.

Women and girls were abducted, imprisoned and sold into slavery. Eight months on, several survivors speak openly about their traumatic experience. Nineteen-year-old Hakimeh was captured in Kucho and held prisoner for three months: \"They sold us among themselves, they treated us very badly, beating us, making us do all sorts of things by force.\" Made to convert to Islam, Yazidi women were bought and sold by jihadists. Jalileh, aged 30, was taken to Syria and ordered to look after the youngest girls. \"If the girl refused to do what they wanted, they would break her arm or crack her skull. Then they would return her. And after she got better, another man took her\", she describes. In the northern Iraqi village of Lalish that remains holy to Yazidis, many women who have managed to escape take sanctuary. But the babies of women raped by Islamic State fighters are not welcome. \"After the baby is born in hospital, it will be handed to the authorities. And the authorities will decide what to do with it\", Yazidi religious leader Baba Chaowish explains. Hakimeh des...

Apps in a Snap: BLT Stacks
Take an all-time favorite sandwich and turn it into an easy and fast appetizer with this BLT Stacks recipe. Watch this video to learn how to make this app in a snap.
Whenever I'm planning what to serve as a party snack. I like to think of meals I love and how I can treat them into a bite-size version. I'm gonna show you how to make a mini BLT sandwich on a stick. First, let's make the dipping sauce. Now, you can definitely use straight mayo right out of the jar like in the classic BLT but I'm gonna add basil to mine to give a little color and freshness. In a food processor, add 2/3 of a cup mayo. Then add about ½ cup fresh basil leaves. Finish the dip with about 2 tablespoons of water just to loosen it up a little bit. Give that a quick pulse. Now for the star of our BLT sandwiches, the bacon. Just cut it into bite-size pieces, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it's brown and crispy then drain it on paper towels. Next, we're gonna cut off the toast for our mini BLTs. I'm using 3 sizes of whole wheat toast but you can use any sandwich bread that you like. I think these are absolutely prettier without the crust so I'm gonna cut mine off. Then cut each slice into 8 equal pieces. Now it's time to assemble our mini BLT sandwiches and this is so easy. Start with a piece of toast at the bottom. Then add your bacon. Add a few pieces of iceberg lettuce and a cherry tomato on top. How cute is that? And now for the grand finale. When guests show up, serve these BLTs stacks with a bowl of a basil-mayo sauce for dipping. For move videos, recipes and tips go to rachelraymag.com.

Legal notices are being published in the Eldorado hometown paper, addressed to "all unknown parents, and any person claiming to be a parent of, any one or more of the children removed from the YFZ Ranch."
The notices, filed by attorneys for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, announces the petitions for hundreds of children taken from the Fundamentalist LDS Church's Texas ranch.
"You have been sued. You may employ an attorney. If you or your attorney do not file a written answer with the clerk who issued this citation by 10:00 a.m. on the Monday next following the expiration of twenty (20) days after you were served this citation and petition, a default judgment may be taken against you."
The legal notices are being published in the Eldorado Success, the town's weekly newspaper, in anticipation of Thursday's court hearing that will determine whether the children will be placed in foster care or returned to their parents. Newspaper publication is another method of serving court papers when someone cannot be located to be personally served.
The notices name all of the children that have been identified by Texas child welfare workers.
"Baby girl Jessop, a child." "Freddie, a child." "Naomi, a child." Some of them are simply listed as "in the interest of 330 children from the YFZ Ranch" or "in the interest of 16 children from the YFZ Ranch."
A separate notice published in the newspaper, names the parents they know of and lists their birth dates. It's a long list of Barlows, Allreds, Jessops, Johnsons, Mussers, Nielsens, Steeds, and Jeffs, etc.
Each lawsuit requests emergency protection of a child.
"The Court has authority in this suit to render any order, judgment or decree in the children's interest that will be binding on you, including the termination of the parent-child relationship, a determination of maternity for each child, a determination of paternity for each child, and appointment of a conservator with authority to consent to each child's adoption," the notice reads.
The upcoming custody battle for the FLDS children could be massive.
Already, Texas officials have said it is the biggest child welfare case they have ever had to deal with. Each of the children must have an attorney. More than a hundred Texas family law attorneys have already been drafted or volunteered to help out.
Many with experience dealing with the FLDS Church and its unique culture have been offering assistance to Texas authorities.
"We're doing education on how to work with the culture," said Shannon Price with the Diversity Foundation, which helps children leaving the polygamous communities.
Price said she has encouraged child welfare workers to be as respectful of the FLDS people as much as possible.
"Have a midwife come in to deal with medical issues. If they need to wash out their garments, don't observe it because they're sacred. If they want to have a Sunday meeting, let them do it in private," she advised.
Price said she believes Texas authorities are sincere in not focusing on polygamy, but instead on purported child abuse.
"It's kind of a no-win situation for the government in many ways. Anything the government does, they put their toe on the property and it's vilifying the community," she told the Deseret News in a recent interview. "The only people I've heard say you're prosecuting polygamy is from polygamous families."
In a statement posted Friday on its Web site, Texas child protective services said no children will be placed in foster care until after Thursday's hearing."A number of state agencies are working together to make all the children as comfortable as possible, and to meet all their physical, medical and psychology needs while they are in San Angelo," the statement said.

The present disclosure relates to a valve repair device and a method for repairing a heart valve. More particularly, this disclosure relates to a valve repair device useful in the repair of the mitral valve.
The human heart has four chambers and four one way valves. The right upper chamber, known as the right atrium, receives deoxygenated blood from the body and passes the blood to the right lower chamber, known as the right ventricle, through the tricuspid valve. The blood then passes through the pulmonary valve and is carried via the pulmonary arteries to the lungs for oxygenation. After the blood is oxygenated, it is received into the left side of the heart. The upper chamber, known as the left atrium, receives the blood from the lungs by four pulmonary veins, two from each lung. The blood is then passed to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, then pushes the blood to the body through the aortic valve.
The mitral valve is also known as a bicuspid valve, as it has two cusps or leaflets. The leaflets consist of the anterior leaflet, which is located adjacent to the aortic valve, and the posterior leaflet. The anterior leaflet is larger than the posterior leaflet. At the junction of the leaflets, each leaflet has a scalloped edge with three rounded portions, known as A1, A2, and A3 for the anterior leaflet, and P1, P2 and P3 for the posterior leaflet. The leaflets are attached to the papillary muscles by the chordae tendineae. The papillary muscles maintain the integrity of chordal leaflet alignment, preventing prolapse of the leaflets. The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle but prevents blood from flowing back to the left atrium.
The tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valves are usually less affected by the disease process. Disease in the mitral valve and the aortic valve is more common in the affected adult population.
Mitral valve stenosis, for example, consists of an obstructive lesion to the leaflets of the valve. When the valves are narrow, also called "stenotic" valves, there is an obstruction to the flow of blood to the receiving chamber and an associated back up of blood. Dilatation of the left atrium develops and may be followed by right-sided heart failure and pulmonary edema, causing lung congestion and symptoms of shortness of breath. If the symptoms are severe, surgical intervention may be warranted.
Thickening and calcification is the commonest cause of narrowing of the mitral valve, secondary to the long-term effects of rheumatic disease. The incidence of mitral stenosis has decreased in the United States as the incidence of rheumatic fever has decreased as a result of the early institution of antibiotics. However, the leaking valve or the regurgitant valve incidence has increased in the last two decades. Mitral regurgitation is commonly due to degeneration or myxomatous disease leading to the lack of coaptation of the two mitral leaflets. The lack of coaptation in turn leads to the blood being regurgitated into the left upper chamber or the left atrium, causing pulmonary congestion and shortness of breath. Other causes include rupture of the chordae tendinea or the papillary muscles which are primarily needed to the support the two leaflets. Infection leading to the destruction of the valve leaflet or congenital clefts can also cause mitral regurgitation.
Treatments for these conditions have varied. Opening of the mitral valve was initiated in the 1950's in a closed method, known as a closed commisurotomy (separation of commisures by dialators). With the advent of heart-lung machine in 1955–56 by Dr. John H. Gibbons, Jr., open mitral comrnisurotomy was started with success.
Due to the high recurrence of stenosis, mitral valve replacement with prosthetic valves, typically constructed of a "ball and cage" (or ball valve), became the normal procedure in the 1960's, as proposed by Dr. Albert Starr. These valves were met with limited success as blood flow obstruction occurred with some frequency, leading to thromboembolism, causing strokes. Other attempts to replace the mitral valve were met with limited success. For example, Bjork Shiley valves were introduced as tilting disc valves to decrease the blood flow obstruction, but a flaw in the design led to strut fracture and their discontinuation. St. Jude valves, with a double tilting disc design, were introduced in the late 1970's. These valves have stood the test of durability and acceptable thromboembolism and are the preferred prosthetic valve replacement in the younger population.
Bioprothesis valves, harvested from heterologous mammals, such as swine and bovine, have also been successfully employed, however, such valves frequently wear out due to degeneration and calcification. Moreover, the current designs for the mitral valve are somewhat limited due to the specific VORTEX flow of the left ventricle. U.S. Pat. No. 6,074,417 illustrates a total bioprosthesis mitral valve.
When possible, surgical repair of the defective valve is preferable over the prosthetic replacement. The thrust of surgical repair has been to preserve the integrity of the papillary muscle, the chordae tendineae and the leaflets. Numerous studies have proved this hypothesis in terms of long-term results and the avoidance of anticoagulation, which can cause life-threatening bleeding complications. In the 1980's, Dr. A F Carpentier of France, pioneered several methods to repair the mitral valve. Rupture of the chordae or the prolapse of the middle scallop of the posterior leaflet was easily repaired by excising the diseased piece, repairing the annulas, and suturing the two leaflets. This procedure has become a preferred method and has produced consistent results. These repairs are supported by the placement of a cloth-covered metallic ring to bring the annulus to the near normal level.
Despite the advancement in the surgical management of the posterior leaflet, the repair of the anterior mitral leaflet has proven more difficult. Various surgical techniques have been devised, but without consistent results. Triangular resection of the leaflet, transposing part of the posterior leaflet to the anterior leaflet, chordal shortening have been proposed. Recently the use of the prosthetic material "goretex" sutures have been used as artificial chordae, with some early success. Long Term Results of Mitral Valve Repair for Myxomatous Disease with and without Chordal Replacement with Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylee, The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, June 1998, 1279–1286.
The use of prosthetic sutures for the anterior or posterior leaflet requires a great deal of skill on the part of the surgeon to make sure the sutures, duplicating the chords, are of the appropriate length. Moreover, attachment of the sutures to the leaflets and papillary muscles is delicate and cumbersome.
The above discussed and other drawbacks and deficiencies are overcome or alleviated by a valve repair device having a leaflet portion, a muscle portion, and a plurality of chords connecting the leaflet portion to the muscle portion.
The valve repair device is attached to the diseased valve by suturing the leaflet portion to the affected leaflet and suturing the muscle portion to the affected muscle.
As an additional feature, the leaflet portion and muscle portion are constructed of cloth made from expanded polytetraflouroethylene. The chords are sutures also constructed from expanded polytetraflouroethylene.
As an additional feature, the leaflet portion or muscle portion include a reinforced attachment point for the sutures.
As an additional feature, the valve repair device may cut by the surgeon to eliminate unnecessary area in the leaflet, or to eliminate an excess number of chords.
Referring to the FIGURES wherein the like elements are numbered alike in the several FIGURES
Referring to
Leaflet portion 12 is a thin flexible element preferably constructed of a biocompatible cloth. Preferably, leaflet portion 12 is constructed of a plastic reinforced cloth, such as expanded polytetraflouroethylene. Gor-Tex®, produced by W. L. Gore and Associates, Inc., Flagstaff, Ariz., is an example of a suitable biocompatible cloth made from expanded polytetraflouroethylene. Leaflet portion 12 provides an anchor to the leaflet of a valve of the heart for chords 14, and may essentially replicate the leaflet, if the leaflet is diseased. Chords 14 are preferably constructed from suture material, such as expanded polytetraflouroethylene, such as GorTex® 5-0 ePTFE and/or 6-0 ePTFE. Leaflet portion 12 is sized for repair of the anterior or posterior leaflet, and more specifically, to cover excised diseased material, such as after a resection of a segment of a floppy valve, either a posterior or anterior leaflet. End 16 may be rounded as the posterior and anterior leaflets are scalloped shaped. More preferably, leaflet portion 12 is rounded at its outer periphery, in a similar manner to the natural leaflets.
Muscle portion 20 is likewise a flexible element and preferably constructed of a biocompatible cloth. Preferably, muscle portion 20 is constructed of expanded polytetraflouroethylene, such as Gor-Tex®. Muscle portion 20 has a rounded portion 24, and is sized to be attached to the papillary muscle of the heart. Muscle portion 20 provides an anchor for chords 14 to the papillary muscle. Muscle portion includes a pair of sutures 26 attached to muscle portion 20, with needles 28 attached at the free end of the sutures 26. Muscle portion 20 may be cylindrically shaped to surround the papillary muscle.
Chords 14 connect leaflet portion 12 and muscle portion 20 and function as the chordae tendineae as explained in greater detail below. Chords 14 are sewn to leaflet portion 12 and muscle portion 20 at respective attachment locations 18 and 22, and maybe reinforced by weaving chords 14 into the weave pattern of leaflet portion 12 and muscle portion 20. Alternatively, chords 14 may be fastened on leaflet portion 12 or muscle portion 20, such as with a plastic clip or as a contiguous part of the cloth or prosthetic material.

In order to accurately determine the location, as illustrated by dimension D, the surgeon may estimate the needed chord length by comparing the relative length of the adjoining chords. The chordae tendeneae comprise the marginal chord, the secondary chord and the basilar chord. The marginal chord is located adjacent the margin or edge of the respective anterior or posterior leaflet. The basilar chord is located adjacent to the area adjoining the annulus of the mitral valve and the secondary chord is positioned between the marginal chord and the basilar chord. Disease in the mitral valve is typically associated with the marginal chord. Subsequent to its removal, the surgeon may approximate the needed chord length, as illustrated by dimension L, by positioning the valve repair device adjacent to a normal marginal chord. The surgeon may also reference the chord length of the opposing anterior or posterior leaflet chordae tendeneae. Preferably, the surgeon will suture a holding stitch or a stay suture between the anterior and posterior leaflets at the level of adjoining normal chordae to obtain accurate approximation of the desired chord length. In this manner, the surgeon may suture muscle portion 20 to the papillary muscle at a distance D to achieve the desired location to effectuate a repair.
It should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the surgeon could suture muscle portion 20 to the papillary muscle with sutures 26 and then suture leaflet portion 12 to the leaflet with sutures 30, provided that the location of leaflet portion 12 and muscle portion 20 allows the leaflets to open and close effectively.

In 1879 when Edison invented the light bulb using carbon and platinum as a light filament he established another milestone of "light" for human beings. Based on the light principle invented by Edison, and many years of effort by scientists, lamp products have developed to become highly efficient light fixtures, such as tungsten filament bulbs, halogen lamp bulbs, etc. In recent years, we have seen the development of light emitting diodes; LED bulbs that demonstrate significant contribution to light sources and visual displays.
Because of high resistance to impact, extended service life, low power consumption and low heat, light emitting diodes were adopted in commercial applications in 1960, and since then, have been used in a wide variety of daily applications to include most household electrical appliances, indicator lamps and light sources for various types of instrument. In their early stages, light emitting diodes were mainly made in red color. After the Japanese Nichia Corporation declared in October 1995 that they had successfully developed high-luminosity GaInN LED having a blue light wavelength of 450 nanometers (1 nanometer=10−9 meters) and green light wavelength of 520 nanometers, LED displays or lamp sets now have the capability of achieving an all-color objective, and the density of storage on digital audiovisual discs can be increased greatly. This was a very key breakthrough.
In recent years, mature applications of light emitting diodes have been developed to include multiple colors and high luminosity, as well as outdoor displays and variable light devices, such as color light sources for large outdoor display boards, traffic sign lamps, buildings and other three-dimensional spaces. Therefore, besides the three primary colors of red, blue and green, in terms of all-color outdoor display, variable light sources and white-light illumination, it is essential to include high-luminosity blue or green LED's, in addition to red LED's.
Obviously, in the field of light sources, the initial purpose of light has developed into an all-color world with visual effects, especially after the drastic drop of selling prices of LED's. LED devices have become the mainstream of optical and visual products. Because of its low power consumption, high luminosity and easy control of brightness, flashing effects, combination and variation of different colors by activating circuits, the LED is quite suitable for use as the medium of visual light sources.
Besides providing white light for regular light purposes, the LED is generally used to provide all-color variable light sources in indoor spaces or on outside walls. In conventional models, however, its brightness, flashing patterns and variable colors are controlled by a built-in microprocessor having the function of variable combinations; instead of being controlled by an operator to suit the actual circumstances.
Therefore, the inventor has developed the present invention of "all-color light control switch", having a control switch for the operator to freely adjust or control the LED lamp set at any time. The switch has a circuit board. Using the multiple sets of light source variation pattern commands stored in a non-volatile memory unit in a microprocessor on the circuit board, and by switching a rotational encoder, and a coaxial press knob and a multiple-color display area for up, down, left and right of the coaxial press knob, the operator is capable of controlling the brightness and light variations in different colors of the LED lamp set.
It is the objective of this invention to provide an all-color light control switch for control light emitting diode LED lamp sets, the switch having a circuit board. Because of multiple sets of light variation commands stored in a non-volatile memory unit in the microprocessor on the circuit board, switching on and off of a rotational encoder and a coaxial press knob will control the brightness and variable colors of light projecting from LED lamp set. Using light guide LED members to guide light sources from the multiple-color LED to a light guide plate, mixing them into more color variations, the design of circuit board can be simplified and its exterior design can be made more flexible.
The present invention of all-color light control switch includes a control center in the form of a circuit board 3, and a switch hardware unit consisting of a base plate 1, a casing 2, a circuit board 3, a light guide plate 4 and a co-axial press knob 5. The base plate 1 is combined with the casing as one unit 2 by snapping a snap hole 11 to a snap hook 21 on the casing 2. The base plate 1 has a hollow 12 and a screw hole 13 for fixing onto a wall. On two sides of the hollow 12 are screw thread units 14. On the casing 2 is a through hole 22 matching the hollow 12. On the outer periphery of the penetrating hole 22 is a ring of depressed groove 23.
The circuit board 3 is screwed onto the screw thread unit 14 by running a screw bolt 31 through a screw hole 32, thereby fixing the circuit board 3 onto the base plate 1. The circuit board 3 has a microprocessor chip, the chip containing the storage of multiple sets of non-volatile memory units of light variation instructions. The microprocessor chip circuit is connected with a coaxial switch 33 with adjustable light brightness and color variations, and multiple-set multiple-color LED sets 34, 35 distributed around the coaxial switch 33.
At the center of the light guide plate 4 is a through hole 41. On the circuit board 3 is provided a coaxial switch 33 penetrating the hollow 12 on the base plate 1, the through hole 22 on the casing, and the through hole 41 on the light guide plate 4. An end of the coaxial switch 33 is inserted in the coaxial press knob 5 at an outer edge of the casing 2, thereby the light guide plate 4 is positioned at the ring-shaped depressed groove 23 on the casing 2.
When power is started, the light sources from a specified number of multiple-color LED 34, 35 distributed on the periphery of the coaxial switch 33 are projected from the light guide plate 4.
As shown in
After installing the present invention of all-color light control switch on the wall, the circuits installed at the farther ends and having different combinations and different color LED lamp set are connected to the circuit board 3 for the all-color light control switch.
Thereby, the operator can feel free to directly turn the coaxial press knob 5, using the coaxial switch 33 to adjust and control the brightness of the lamp set, or press the up, down, left or right of the coaxial press knob 5 to start flashing variations of multiple sets of multiple-color LED sets 34, 35, so that the multiple-set light variation status commands stored in the microprocessor 3A on the circuit board 3 and the LED of the non-volatile memory driver lamp set produce flashing variations or color variations.
Meanwhile, the multiple sets of multiple-color LED sets 34, 35 of the all-color light control switch, distributed on the periphery of the coaxial switch 33, project different strengths and different colors of light from the light guide plate 4.
